As a result of water damage, I lost many pieces in my parquet floor. The damaged area is in a three window bay in the front of the garden level of my brownstone. The section is about 8ft. by 5ft.. I have recieved one quote of $14,000. I laughed. I am moving within the next year. Should I proceed with the repair (done by someone else), leave it, or tear up the whole floor and lay a new wood (not parquet) floor? While the floor is beautiful it is getting pretty thin and I hear that matching the woodgrain is fairly tricky. Comments or suggestions?
